Successful Expedite of I-765 & I-131 Experience

[Vancouver2Seattle 0]

Hi All,

There's a lot of talk out there about the EAD card after your K-1 visa. Everyone wants to work and travel, so they want to get it as quickly as possible. I succesfully had mine expedited so thought I'd share my experience.

December 18th, 2015: Entered USA on K-1 Visa

Decemberer 21st, 2015: Married

December 29th, 2015: I-485, I-131, I-765 Received

January 25th, 2016: Biometrics

February 5th, 2016: Requested expedited I-131 through my Congressman's office

February 8th, 2016: USCIS Status updated to "Card in Production"

February 12th, 2016: Card Received!

Honestly, it was the easiest thing I've done during this process. I called the congressman's office, said that I had a bona fide business trip planned to Canada in February and they approved both the I-765 AND I-131.

Feel free to post any questions and good luck!
